What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Oh man, the flip flop cake is terrible. My first thought was 'Omg, giant spiders coming out of strawberries!' And then I remembered that the theme was shoes, so I squinted. And then turned my head sideways. And then shook my head in disbelief.

Arghhhh none of those are shoes.. they have to be someone's acid induced hallucinations. Especially the flip flop aka lung cake.. how I would run out of the room for bug spray if I saw that thing in my house lol.

I remember the goldfish shoes- '77ish, I think. I'm not going to say how old I was, except that my mom adamantly refused to let me spend my summer job money of a pair, thereby dooming me to social non-existence! Oh, the horrors! I bought a pair of Famolare Waves instead, wore them all through High school. :-)
